Really, she's not old, and they're not false...so she should be able to keep them in her mouth! :) Bostons and other flat faced dogs are notorious for having underbites... I think it's so cute, and I always have to tell her to put her teeth away!

I know...a girl can dream though, right?!

I'm just so proud of the little guy, I can't stop watching him! I don't know if he's going to be able to blow a big one right now, but at least he can blow one. I'll see what it looks like in the morning and decide whether to carry on, or condition them longer. :) Video of Alpha building his...

Okay, SO...the transhipper emailed me and said that she agreed, it wasn't my fault, and she would pay the shipping. :) Yay! But, what would make it super awesome is if the seller just sent me extra fish anyway, and I got both...hehe...

Eh...I would accept replacement fish. I'm still looking for a red dt/dt gene carrying female, and an orange female.

Hah...yes...it's in my wardrobe. I cleared off a shelf. That way I can shut the doors and keep it private, warm, and humid for them. :) I don't see any reason to need to lower the air flow of the pump as it's on full blast right now and isn't disturbing the water surface at all since the...

I switched the cup to a flat piece of styrofoam, and he's blowing a nest! Yay!!! :) It's still modest right now... I hope this is successful! These guys are my two favorites!

3 inches? Really! That makes my tank look really silly, but if I have to do it, I have to do it. That little ornery thing jumped over AGAIN before I got the water lowered. It's a good thing the divider next to him's empty now that Alpha's in the spawning tank. Hopefully this helps!

I have the water lowered enough to where there's about an inch of divider above the water level, and he keeps jumping! His fins are all torn up. He jumped it sometime last night while I was asleep and Alpha tore him up pretty well. Alpha came out with a couple rips on his fins, but seems fine...

If he was sending extra fish, that'd be fine...but he already owes me a fish to "compensate" for the one that arrived DOA. That's what I took that to mean...Hmph. First experience on aquabid=not so wonderful.

I do. It doesn't cover it completely. It has small holes punched out for tubing, and the filter that was in the tank...but it's covered for the most part. There are some small bubbles under the leaf, but I can't tell if they're just air bubbles that were stuck there from when I put it in the...

My male looks like he's trying to blow a bubble nest. I've put half a cup in the tank and taped it to the side. Every bubble he blows out is popping. Is there any reason for this? The tank has an almond leaf, and a sponge filter, a little salt, and a drop of malefix. I haven't gotten a...

How pretty! It's good that he's so swimmy after shipping! Mine wanted to just sit there, even after being acclimated for 3 hours.

Poor little girl! I hope she pulls through it with you!

That seems like it'll cost me more than it will to just pay for the shipping. I just received this email from the seller: "Hi Kayla I am apologize about this case because it is no fault of you then I will send other fish for compernsation and I will take care customer I hope every customer...

Okay, I sent the email. Now I'm worried I just won't receive my fish at all! :(

So who should have to pay for it? The original seller from Thailand? I mean, really, the transhipper doesn't make any money out of this- so why should that person be out? Really, I don't want to pay for it again...it was $60 last time...but the transhipper's going to add the amount for the...

Yeah, but the fish they have are $60 that I've already paid out...so...I'll be losing more money if I don't just get them here. :(

Man, the transhipper said I have to pay shipping again. That kind of sucks since the fish were there, and this wasn't an error on my part. Gosh...guess I'll have to order more from aquabid now...just to make it worth it. ;) Bettas=$$$ leaving my account.

My big purple cambo girl tried to end it today. It may have been accidental...I don't know. I went to take a nap and when I lied down she was fine, but two hours later when I got up she wasn't in the tank. I looked everywhere and finally found her on the floor behind the tank. She was dry to...

Should my LFS have live white worms? I've never seen them. Where do you all get your supply of live food, and what kinds do you buy for your bettas?

I had a seller send me a picture of this girl...gosh, I want to get her! If I have to pay shipping again for my two fish that weren't sent in this last shipment, I'm going to get her.

I did receive news this morning. Unfortunately, my MG female was DOA- now I'm being sent a replacement (scary!), and the other, a copper female, is at my transhippers. They were labeled on the outer newspaper that's removed when they arrive to the states, so she didn't know where they...

I'll probably end up dividing the 10g three ways and putting him in there...for now. Those jars would be a great find though for separating males from a spawning.

I bought this female today at my LFS. She's very heavily striped, but horizontally. All of the females in the tank looked like that. Not very comforting...but I was wondering if the stripes will eventually go away, or if some females are just naturally striped. Does anyone know?

Hah...I named them all after cuts/washes of Rock & Republic jeans...my other obsession. :) Alpha is a dark blue wash with bright yellow R's! I thought it was a pretty perfect fit.

Interesting. Which dollar store did you find the jar at?

I just received the confirmation email from the seller. They were sent. He sent a message to the transhipper to see if they made it there...

It's so hard to tell what they are sometimes...especially when they're in a little blue tinted cup! I have an extra empty 10g, 20g, 5g, and 55g...but none are set up. I suppose the 5 g will be soon though since I'm moving the two aggressive females to another empty 10g. Still though...the 5g...

I know this is a premature BUMP...but she/he's sitting in a cup right now b/c I don't know what to do with him! Please, more opinions?

Oh, yay! Congrats on the spawn. He IS beautiful, and those are some awesome pictures! Keep us updated! :)

And I've heard that you cannot, unless it's seasalt.

Darnit! I cannot possibly keep him. My luck continues...

Gosh darnit! I just went to get a couple females since mine didn't come like they were supposed to...and I think I ended up with a male!! Argh! Tell me I'm right...and he's going straight back. I don't have any of my other tanks set up to house another male.

That's the tricky part...they were sent via USPS Express mail, so they should be insured...but I had to use a transhipper...it just seems odd b/c I told that person to expect 6 fish. I was never notified that 6 didn't arrive, but only 4 were sent. I contacted the seller before, and he said...

You're right, Wayne. That was the first thing I thought of when I opened the box. I got to the bottom, and thought, "Wait...did I miss another box outside??" I've written to the seller, and the transhipper. Hopefully it can be figured out soon. I wrote the seller when they were supposed to...
